Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Ray”

The other women

Kerry became so attached to Della Robinson that it was hard for her to watch the scenes with Ray (Jamie Foxx) and Margie (Regina King). She knew that as a wife it would be difficult for the real Mrs. Robinson to see her husband’s relationship with his mistress be broadcast on screen for millions of people to see, especially after she’d been so private throughout her husband’s career. But surprisingly, Mrs. Robinson took it better than Kerry did in a sense.

I think that was the thing that surprised me the most cause I knew the storyline and I saw Regina in New Orleans and I love Regina and I was excited that we were both doing the film; but particularly those moments where she talks about me; when she talks about my character and she mentions, “Your precious Della.” A year and a half later, that still hit me personally, and that surprised me a lot; and it’s also a testament to what an incredible actor she is.
